The Weeknd looked almost unrecognizable on Monday’s red carpet without his signature beard, leaving behind only the ‘stache and some scruff on his chin. And while the Grammy Award-winning artist had typically kept a flat top-esque haircut, trimmed closely at the sides, it seems he has decided to let his locks grow.

For the event, he opted to wear a flattering navy blue suit with a classic white button-down and brown shoes.

The event was his first public appearance since reports that he and Bella Hadid had split again. E! Newsreported that the on-again, off-again couple called it quits in August, with a source telling the outlet that “distance” was to blame.

“They are in different places right now, physically and mentally,” the source told E!. “Bella is prepping for her fashion week commitments and Abel is working on his music and his upcoming acting debut.”

Another source, however, told Entertainment Tonight that the couple were still together despite the rumors, and are simply “working through things.”

“The couple travels a lot, works a lot and that often creates tension,” the source told ET. “However, the two love one another, have lost one another in the past and want to try and make it work. Right now they are together and working on keeping it that way.”
